Plant vs. Resendiz: “There are levels” Saturday

Caleb Plant says he goes to his opponent, Jose Armando Resendiz, that there are “levels” when they meet at the Super Middleweight at the Super Middleweight at the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, May 31.

It is Another tune-up Fight for the former IBF champion plant of 168 pounds (23-2, 14 COs). So he is expected to be much better than his opponent, Resendiz. Saturday’s event is pointed out on PBC Prime video Start at 8pm ET.

It is unclear why Resendiz (15-2, 11 COs) was chosen because he is fighting the middleweight, not at 168. The idea, of course, is to ensure that plant is not beaten because it is a showcase to create interest in a potential struggle between him and Jermall Charlo. Both try to get fights against Canelo Alvarez.

“It’s one of the best versions of myself. I had a hellish training camp, and all the experience I have will show it, ‘Caleb planted to the media today. “Skills and if you check my last battle (Trevor McCumby), I also have a wonderful inside game,” Plant said on what’s in the store for Armando Resendiz on Saturday.

Plant’s inactivity and ambition

What we saw from plant against McCumby in his last fight, he is not the ‘best version’ of what he was once in 2021 and earlier. He lost something from his game out of inactivity, and the punishment he endured against Canelo Alvarez and David Banavidez. In addition, planting has been inactive for long periods since it received a big payday against Canelo. He made many millions out of that battle, and he did not show the same ambition as he had before He beat it rich.

“If that’s what he wants, I’m going to show him that there are levels. I feel like there are many big fights there. The Jermall Fight, Munguia, Berlanga, Pacheco, Sheeraz and Mbilli. All the fights are big fights for me. Any one of them could fight against each other, and it wouldn’t be such a big fight for one of them if they fight against me, ‘says Plant.

It is good to hear plant boldly talking about his opponent. But would he do the same if he was fighting against one of the killers in the 168 pound division, such as Christian Mbilli, Edgar Berlanga or Hamzah Sheeraz? He chose Resendiz, which is a middleweight. He could have chosen someone from the 168 pound division, but chose for a fighter who was recently beaten in the 160 pound division.

Plant’s “complete fighter” errors

“I’m a complete fighter, inside, outside and on the middle distance. Right now it’s on the back burner for me. I’m just focused on Saturday. I can only fight one fight at a time. The battle does not happen unless I put my hand in this one, “Plant said when asked about a fight between him and Jermall Charlo. “At the moment I’m locked in it.”

I would not call Caleb plant a ‘complete fighter’ because he is not a puncher, and he has endurance. He was eliminated in fighting against David Banavidez, Canelo Alvarez and Jose Uzcategui. To be a complete fighter, you need strength and endurance. Plant is missing in both of these areas.

“I put everything on the back burner, and as soon as I raised my hand, on May 31, we will have enough time to talk about it. I can think about it, but now I’m just focused, ‘Plant said.

Caleb discusses the potential battle against Jermall Charlo that can take place next if both fighters win. He believes that the knock of the inactive 35-year-old Jermall opens the door for a re-broadcast against Canelo Alvarez. Jermall has only fought once since 2021 and looked awful in his previous fight, with a 2.5-year discharge in 2023. This is the man who wants the plant. It is a fighting level fight.
